Remove all occurrences of a value from a list?

Question

In Python, remove() will remove the first occurrence of a value in a list.

How to remove all occurrences of value from a list?

This is what I have in mind:

>>> remove_values_from_list([1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 2, 3], 2)

[1, 3, 4, 3]

Answer 1

If you want to remove all occurrences of value from a list then you can follow the following methods:-

If you are a Python 2.x user then you can use the filter() function to do your task:-

>>> x = [1,2,3,2,2,2,3,4]

>>> filter(lambda a: a != 2, x)

If you are a Python 3.x user then you can use the list(filter()) or lambda function to do your task:-

>>> x = [1,2,3,2,2,2,3,4]

>>> list(filter((2).__ne__, x))

OR

>>> x = [1,2,3,2,2,2,3,4]

>>> list(filter(lambda a: a != 2, x))
